SUMMARY:Paws for Finals
DESCRIPTION:
 The UT Arlington Libraries are sponsoring a new 
 outreach and support program for students called 
 "Paws for Finals." This program will allow 
 students to interact with registered therapy 
 dogs as a means of reducing the stress and 
 anxiety that final exams can induce. \n
 \n
 Studies 
 have proved that petting a friendly dog 
 reliably lowers blood pressure and stress-related 
 hormones in the blood, slows the heart 
 rate, regularizes breathing, and releases tension 
 from muscles. These effects can be achieved 
 after only 5 to 24 minutes of interaction 
 with a cheerful pup. \n
 \n
 Students (and faculty/staff) 
 who need a study/work break filled 
 with unconditional love are encouraged and invited 
 to stop by the second floor of the Central 
 Library at the Research Help Desk (north 
 end of the building) December 1-9, 2012, from 
 10 AM to noon and from 2-4 PM (please check 
 for daily schedule updates at http://libguides.uta.edu/paws). 
 The UT Arlington Libraries are 
 proud to partner with Paws With Partners registered 
 therapy dog volunteer group [https://www.facebook.com/PetPartnerPawsWithPartners] 
 for this program. \n\n
 Price: free \n
 Sponsor: University of Texas at Arlington Library\n
